Τhe Torah term for Greece is Yavan. It appears many times throughout the Scriptures and always hints at a mistaken materialistic view of reality. The word Yavan in Hebrew is written with the three letters yud, vav, nun and its depiction is three vertical columns of different lengths (יון), suggesting the famous columns that are the most enduring relic of ancient Greece.

In the Torah, the word Tziyon (Zion, Jerusalem) captures the idealistic vision of G-d’s plan and purpose for the Jewish people. As it is written: "…for from Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem" (Isaiah 2:3). The word Tziyon is created by placing the letter tzadik in front of the three letters that form the word Yavan (ציון). Αll Hebrew letters have meanings and the meaning of tzadik is a saintly human being, a G-d fearing person. In other words, the saintliness of Zion is not complete without the beauty of Greece! And this is one more reason to come and visit our country!
